My galvanized 3/4 inch line finally gave up the ghost. I am thinking of using either PEX or PVC asa replacement (1 to 11/4 inch, with a run from meter to house of about 200 feet). The local plumbingcompany I called keeps trying to sell me copper, but this seems much more expensive than either PEXor PVC. Question: what is involved in joining PEX to the water meter line and the existing galvanizedline going into the house? How much should I expect to pay per foot for 1 inch PEX? Any andall facts and suggestions re: installing a new supply line would be greatly appreciated.
